Meet your instructor!

Hi, I’m Darlene! I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with a bachelor's degree in Child Study and Speech Communication and a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology. My professional experience includes working as a school-based SLP serving preschool and elementary-aged children, helping them develop communication, language, and social skills.

I am passionate about supporting children's growth through engaging and meaningful learning experiences. The music, language, and sign language classes I provide offer opportunities for children to strengthen communication skills while building confidence, connection, and a love of learning.

Born and raised in New York, I bring both professional expertise and personal perspective to my work as a mother of three children. My experiences in both education and parenting have reinforced my belief that every child learns best in a supportive, encouraging, and enriching environment.

I look forward to partnering with families and helping children discover the many ways they can communicate, learn, and thrive.
